Mayor Eric Adams praised Maria Torres-Springer’s extensive experience and successful housing and economic development initiatives, emphasizing her role in enhancing collaboration across city government.
Torres-Springer, who previously served as deputy mayor for housing, economic development, and workforce, has overseen the financing of 60,000 affordable homes in just two years.
Growing up in Section 8 housing, Torres-Springer brings a unique perspective to her role, allowing her to understand the importance of affordable housing firsthand.
The resignation of First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright coincides with ongoing challenges in the administration, particularly a federal corruption investigation affecting city hall.
